the iota kappa project review: 6/10
Alcest is a musical project born in Bagnols-sur-Cèze, France.Beginning as a raw black metal act in 1999, Alcest later became a vessel for Neige's "memories of another world" as the band evolved into his solo-project. While Alcest still retains some black metal roots, the music now draws more comparison to other genres such as shoegaze and post-rock.

Ganger - "Capo (South Of Caspian)" from Album: Hammock Style Year:1998
Ganger formed in march 1995, in Glasgow, with the idea of doing a kind of krautrock thing - lots of folk were listening to ‘can’, ‘neu’, ‘kraftwerk’ etc. at the time. They started with 2 basses (stuart & graham), 2 drummers (james & steven), keyboards, guitar and clarinet (lucy). Ganger split in April 2000.

"post-rock"... - - origin of the term

Origin of the term

The term "post-rock" is believed to have been coined by critic Simon Reynolds in his review of Bark Psychosis' album Hex, published in the March 1994 issue of MOJO magazine. Reynolds expanded upon the idea later in the May 1994 issue of THE WIRE. He used the term to describe music "using rock instrumentation for non-rock purposes, using guitars as facilitators of timbre & textures rather than riffs and power chords". He further expounded on the term, "perhaps the really provocative area for future development lies...in cyborg rock; not the wholehearted embrace of Techno's methodology, but some kind of interface between real time, hands-on playing and the use of digital effects and enhancement". Reynolds, in a July 2005 entry in his blog, claimed he had used the term "post-rock" before using it in MOJO, previously using it in music newspaper MELODY MAKER. He also said he later found the term to not be of his own creation, saying in his blog, "although I genuinely believed I was coining the term, I discovered many years later it had been floating around for over a decade."
